US Valve is growing quickly in the data center market. As the business grows, we need to do more than sell the products US Valve already makes. We need to identify where broader IDEX capabilities can help us win more of the data center cooling opportunity.

This person will identify, evaluate, and help commercialize opportunities where US Valve can bring broader IDEX products, technologies, capabilities, or partnerships into the data center market.

This person will work closely with Sales, Business Development, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and other IDEX business units. They will help build business cases, define customer problems, evaluate product fit, support commercialization plans, and help determine where US Valve may need new products, technologies, partnerships, or acquisition targets to strengthen its position in data center cooling.

• Help prioritize connected-growth opportunities using market size, customer pull, margin potential, strategic fit, speed to market, and execution complexity.
